Waiting for Verizon Wireless Business Smartphone, Droid Pro

I am amazed at the news about the plan of Verizon Wireless to sell the Droid Pro, Motorola's first device for business customers that use the Google Android operating platform. This device is said to feature corporate-level security on e-mails and also support Flash software and have Wi-Fi short-range wireless connections so users can stay connected in areas of weak cell phone coverage.  Wow!
I cannot wait to buy my own.  Well, I need to wait for one month since the phone will only be available in November.  I hope it will not be too expensive.
